Dining & drinks
• Breakfast Room – Buffet restaurant: Serves a wide selection of hot and cold items for breakfast, with live cooking for eggs and other favourites.
• Les Finestres de Llúria – À la carte restaurant: A stylish space serving international, Spanish and local cuisine for breakfast, lunch and dinner, highlighting quality ingredients and Catalan recipes.
• Aromes – Snack bar: Ideal for lighter bites, casual lunches and drinks throughout the day.

Smart dress code may apply in the evening, particularly in the à la carte restaurant. Reservations can be required for popular time slots and supplements may apply depending on your chosen board basis. Services and opening times are based on the previous season and can change.

Head up to the roof terrace for a relaxed, resort‑style pause in the middle of the city. The compact outdoor freshwater pool is surrounded by a sunbathing deck, fringed with sunbeds, hammocks, Balinese beds and parasols – ideal for a midday cool‑off or pre‑dinner cocktail with skyline views.

Pool towels are provided free of charge and facilities may vary by season. While there’s no beach on‑site, you can reach Barcelona’s seafront and Barceloneta Beach easily via metro, bus or taxi from the hotel.

Keep up your routine in the air‑conditioned gym, equipped with cardio machines, a free‑weights area and a stretching zone. It’s typically open from 07:00 until 23:00 and reserved for guests aged 18 and over.

Beyond the pool and gym, the hotel focuses on thoughtful city‑break comforts rather than a full resort programme. Expect a welcoming lobby, cosy corners for planning your day and attentive staff on hand to help with restaurant reservations, tickets and local recommendations.
